36th Sports Toto Chinese New Year Ang Pow Donation Campaign
In this auspicious Year of the Rabbit, STM Lottery shared Chinese New Year cheer with over 19,000 needy old folks nationwide at its 36th Sports Toto Chinese New Year Ang Pow Donation Campaign.
The donation campaign was launched by Y.B. Tuan Khairul Firdaus, Deputy Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture and Y.B. Mr. Fong Kui Lun, Member of Parliament for Bukit Bintang, in the presence of Dato’ Sri Robin Tan, Chairman of Sports Toto Berhad at Berjaya Times Square, Kuala Lumpur.
A total of more than 3,000 eligible needy senior citizens including those from 4 invited old folks’ homes joined the launching ceremony held today.
The 6-day campaign, which was held in 48 cities and towns throughout the country, targeted to benefit at least 19,000 senior citizens nationwide. Each beneficiary received an ang pow, a mini hamper and mandarin oranges.
“It had been very difficult and challenging for all of us during the pandemic but we had managed to weather through as we are returning to normal and entering the endemic phase now.
“Over the past 2 years, we had continued the campaign by donating to a total of 241 old folks’ homes in the country. Therefore, we are very excited to bring back the public donation campaign to allow eligible public senior citizens nationwide to join this auspicious event,” said Dato’ Sri Robin Tan in his welcome speech.
STM Lottery also took the opportunity to thank Berjaya Times Square for stepping in as the venue sponsor for this launching ceremony. At the same time, the company also expressed its appreciation to over 800 employees and Toto agents who contributed to make the campaign a success.
